Use the paragraph to answer the question The red velvet ant is famous for having one of the most painful stings in the insect world. In fact, it is often called the cow
killer ant, because its sting is said to be so terrible it could kill a cow. Neither one of these names perfectly suit the creature,

What evidence would cause a person fear the red velvet ant?
(1 point)
A It lives on the ground
B It has a powerful stinger
C It is flightless
D It takes over bee nests
